Magic Apprentice
Chapter 163: negotiation
Early in the morning, the sunlight passed through the thin clouds and scattered the light on the grassland.
The endless prairie now seems to be a vast ocean.
The galloping horses on the grassland are like sailboats in the ocean, and the hawks flying in the blue sky are the seagulls on the grassland.
After the storm subsided, Qianying remained vigilant as always.
Almost all of the scouts were sent out. The Hawks they commanded to investigate the Kaoqi people's every move. Above the grassland, there were Monti eyes.
No one wants to see the initial raid that caused the four fortresses to be breached, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties again.
Outside Enleco ’s tent, several magicians were commanding a team of strong soldiers to move the “gravel” piled around them into the front battalion, and each car issued a “crunchy” axle friction the sound of. The Montittans of those carts were cautious, and after these battles, each of them knew deeply the meaning of what they were carrying.
The Montitas have long regarded these red "gems" as gifts given to them by the gods in order to win them. Most of them even believe that they carry a thunderbolt on their body, which is even stronger than the most powerful. Amulets are more useful.
However, this kind of thing is not available to everyone. Only the bravest soldiers among the unicorns are qualified to take up such weapons.
The carts lined up in a long line and pushed forward to the camp on the west side of the camp. There is a gathering place for craftsmen, and it is very lively in the craftsman camp at this time.
Everywhere you can hear the sound of the "Ding Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang" hammer hitting the anvil, the burning fire makes the camp covered with a layer of white mist.
The red hot furnace is full of flowing lead water.
Lead water is cast into the mold. This soft metal is the only rich mineral deposit in the Monteta grassland. The bright appearance of porcelain also originates from this. On the other side, a very long and narrow tent was built. The tent was surrounded by unicorn soldiers wearing heavy armor. The security here was even tighter than that of the central camp.
There is even a magician standing at the door of the tent. His job is to use magic to detect everyone who enters or exits the tent.
The gravel transported from around Enleco's tent was all piled up on the end of the long, narrow tent.
Several people came out of the tent from time to time. They carried wooden barrels, squatted next to the gravel, carefully screened them, and then returned to the tent with the bucket full of gravel.
From time to time, one or two people will be drilled, holding a stack of flat boxes one meter square in their hands.
Everyone who sees them pass by will deliberately keep a certain distance from them, but looking at them is always full of awe in those boxes, and there is the explosion of thunder that almost makes the Monti people worship. .
Holding the tall wooden box, the two strong Montyta magicians didn't feel any hardship at all, and they walked towards Zhongying.
Everyone who enters the middle battalion will be questioned, but the two of them are the exception. Under the guard of the guard on duty, through the high wooden door, there is a huge tent on the left.
The two magicians walked towards the tent.
The tent was very lively. There was a huge and narrow wooden table in the middle of the tent. Several people gathered, some of them were dressed as magicians, and the others were obviously craftsmen.
These people were whispering and discussing, seeing that the two magicians came in holding the box, and everyone put down their hands and surrounded them.
"Let's see, how is the most powerful weapon we have built?" An elderly magician said, apparently as the leader.
He approached slowly and opened the lid of the top stack of flat boxes. Inside the flat square box, ten arrows thick and one foot long were lined up neatly.
The outer shell made of lead is quite sharp at one end, and the other end is divided into four tails like ordinary arrows.
On the surface of the lead skin, there is a magic circle like wings. In the center of the magic circle, there are three very small gemstones that are shining with gloom.
The magician took the arrow in his hand, and then nodded slowly.
A craftsman next to him immediately took a huge crossbow from the top of the long table, and shook the grip of the winch, shaking it, and in a "creak" sound, the length of more than one meter was made of thick steel sheets The crossbow arm was gradually bent over, and the steel crossbow string was stretched tightly.
After opening the crossbow, the craftsman took the arrow from the old magician.
At this time, the two precious stones inlaid above the arrows flashed a bright blue light.
Although he didn't know much about magic, the craftsman at least knew that the power of the wind had been filled in the arrows. Holding the crossbow tightly in his hand, the craftsman walked towards the door. Others followed him, and several assistants had already ran out of the door to prepare the target for the test.
People who were originally walking around in the camp were driven aside, and the patrol lined up in a straight passage, as if sweeping a path for the arrow.
A lot of people were also drilled out of the central account, led by the young prince, chief captain of the Unicorn Corps.
In the distance, a flag fluttered against the wind, and a rather steep mound was piled up under the flag, which was the target.
In the Kingdom of Montyta, even a craftsman has extremely skilled bow and arrow skills, not to mention the simplest crossbow arrows to use.
The craftsman raised the heavy crossbow in his hand and carefully placed the arrow into the center slot.
He closed his eyes gently, and the other eye, through the front sight, aimed at the earth platform with the flag in the distance.
Just pulled the trigger lightly, and the arrow rang with the sound of "Beng", shooting toward the distance as if an electric shock.
A roar sounded, and a burst of smoke suddenly rose in the distance.
When the smoke disappeared, I saw that the earth platform had already collapsed for the most part, leaving only a root more than a foot high, as if to prove that it had existed.
With the deafening roar, as the smoke dissipated, suddenly, cheers rang from all directions, and the cheers were even louder than the cheers when the enemy retreated.
"There should be 500 meters, a very good distance." The prince stepped forward happily and asked. He couldn't wait to **** the heavy crossbow and looked closely at him.
"Is there any other arrow, I want to give it a try." Duck said, his eyes filled with hope. But the old magician obviously didn't accept his feelings, and he was even more reluctant to waste precious weapons in order to pat the prince's farts.
"The price of this arrow is not cheap, even we dare not use it at will." The old magician immediately shook his head and refused.
"How many of these arrows can you make in one day?" Duck asked after experiencing the battle. He knew the role of these weapons on the battlefield best.
The people next to them heard the topic and they gathered, and they also wanted to know the answer to the question.
Because almost everyone now believes that future battles will no longer be determined by sharp swords and fast-running horses. The key to winning or losing is obviously who has more such powerful weapons.
"If you work hard, you can make fifty arrows in four hours." Said the craftsman.
"Isn't it possible to speed up some more? No one knows when the war will come," Duck said worriedly.
"I'm afraid it would be extremely risky to speed up. The places where these arrows are made are filled with burst crystals. I think you should be able to guess the consequences of the accident." The craftsman said disapprovingly: "We are not like that The guy is average and able to survive the violent explosion intact. "
Hearing this, Duck nodded involuntarily.
Since he saw Enleco's tent exploded at both ends for three days, he even began to wonder who was stronger than Enleco.
Just as Duck wanted to continue his inquiry, his grandfather got out of the tent.
"Dark, you come in, there is a very important thing, need to discuss with you." The old man said. For his grandfather, Duck did not dare to go against it. He bowed his head into the tent. The old man returned to the tent with his grandson behind him, and he managed to draw the thick curtain completely into the tent. This tent was slightly different from the other big tents, and was covered with a thick wool blanket, which almost made the conversation inside. 'S voice will not penetrate at all.
At this time, an invisible boundary completely isolates the inside and outside.
There were only four people sitting in the tent, and naturally his mother, Sant of Montitar, was in the center.
The other three, the top position is the elite unicorn elder, next to him is the legendary Gangta on the grassland.
Sitting on the other side was Enleco, and Duck sat next to him.
"What happened?" Duck asked puzzled.
"The Kaoqi sent a messenger, and he brought news of the negotiation." Gangta said slowly. "Does anyone believe they demand peace? Anyway, I will never believe this." Duck said bluntly.
"We also doubt the intentions of the Kaoqi people. They sent messengers on the one hand to demand peace, but on the other they stepped up construction work."
"Their fortresses are stronger than ever. Their trenches are more unbreakable than before. They replaced the original triangular iron plates with one-foot-long sharp nails. They laid five or six layers of iron mesh. That thing is better than the previous Luzhai. It ’s much harder to deal with. ”
"Their frontier positions no longer have only one stronghold. I can't see the other four strongholds at all. They can show the desire for peace."
"The most hateful thing is that they are constantly attacking our convoy. Although we have taught them a lot of lessons, these Kaoqi people seem to be prepared to hit our supply line at any cost."
"If Kaoqi intends to show sincerity in the peace talks, then let them demolish the fortresses, fill those trenches, and withdraw from the land of the Kingdom of Montita. We can make a promise not to attack their territory in retaliation." Da Ke said disapprovingly, his words were unexpectedly sharp.
But no one believed that everything Duck said was incorrect.
The wise man among the unicorns nodded slowly and said, "Prince Duck, you are absolutely correct. I also think that the Kaoqi are just delaying time. I think they are probably waiting for the storm. The passing of the season, the last time we counterattacked, they must have given them a considerable blow. "
"And the counterattack made them know that we have super magic powerful enough to destroy a legion. The power of this kind of magic is not even inferior to that of forbidden magic."
"I'm afraid the Kaoqi people are waiting for the arrival of autumn, waiting for the storm, an ally of nature to leave us." The elder Unicorn said slowly, his brows growing tighter.
"However, if we refuse the Kaoqi people's request for a truce, I am afraid it is not a good solution. Compared with the Kaoqi Kingdom, we can't afford a protracted war."
"The wealth accumulated in the city in the cloud for more than 20 years has been almost completely consumed in just one or two months. These two battles, although we have occupied some advantages, and from the number of casualties From the above, we can be considered a victory. "
"However, our losses have already caused us vitality, and I do n’t even know how long it will take for the Monty Steppe to recover from the damage it caused to this war. Because of this, I think the Kaoqi people passed The signal to come to a truce is not a bad thing for us now. We can also use this short period of peace to allow Montyta to get sufficient supplies. "" We can ask the Kaoqi people to evacuate our land, more importantly Let them promise not to block the waterway at sea. And we can take this opportunity to summon those more remote tribes near Grant and arrange the tribes that have lost too many young people, so that the vitality is seriously injured. "
"When the Kaoqi people leave, we can occupy those fortresses and destroy them all, which saves them from attacking suddenly."
The elder unicorn's words made everyone nod.
"In my opinion, the most important thing is to regroup the Unicorn Corps. From this battle, it seems that the original Unicorn Corps has no meaning at all."
"Whether it's a high-powered unicorn captain or a child who can only ride an archery, when they all hold explosives in their hands, they are almost no different."
"Because of this, I think that the size of the Unicorn Corps can be greatly increased, so that everyone can have sufficient training, relying on the strength of everyone, not just relying on a part of the elite, which will inevitably allow us in the future In the battle, increase the hope of victory. "
"However, in this way, another question arises, how can each fighter have at least one detonator? With the current manufacturing capacity, at most 500 detonators can be made in a day, but it is a crossbow. A tribe makes it by themselves, and the Montitas have the skill of making bows and arrows. "
Speaking of which, the old man who was once a king focused on Enlecco.
"I will help with this matter. I am afraid the bottleneck lies in the production of burst crystals. I will come up with a way to make burst crystals in a faster way. The arrows can be solved by adding craftsmen. This is not necessary for me. How much thought it takes. "
"The only restriction now is probably the raw material for making burst crystals. Everyone who wants to make tens of thousands of horses can use burst crystals to deal with enemies at will. I am afraid it is difficult to do so. I can only do my best." Enlek said slowly.
"Perhaps the most important thing is not to have an alarming number of mine explosions." The Gangta, who had not said a word, suddenly interjected: "Perhaps, trying to make the mine explosions can attack enemies farther away than it is. Increasing the number of mines is much more effective. "
"When soldiers cleaned the battlefield, they were often able to find intact detonation. A considerable number of detonation was not used to kill the enemy. They lay quietly on the grassland with the death of the people who owned them." Dak couldn't help but interject: "The newly made mine explosion is completely different. With the kind of heavy crossbow equipped by the Kaoqi people, it is made into an arrow like mine explosion and can hit a target 500 meters away."
"The magic bomb of the Magic Corps is only slightly farther than us, but the speed of the Magic Corps' burst of fire can't be compared with us at all."
Duck said more and more excited, but to his surprise, Gangta was always indifferent. For this character who doesn't have much qualifications in the city in the cloud or the unicorn, Duck never dared to take it lightly.
Because Gangta's reputation has already spread throughout the Monty Steppe. Although he does not have the status of an elder, he was able to do this, and even Duck had to admire him.
And since the beginning of the war, Gangta quickly proved his strength.
In this battle, in terms of military merits, in addition to guarding the last fortress, the Kingdom of Kaoqi was not able to chase after victory, seize more fortresses successively, the Elder Lauder who completely collapsed the entire line of defense, and commanded the first When a regiment attacked the enemy's main force, and almost completely wiped out the Ducks of the two regiments stationed in the fortress, it was necessary to count Gangta's military power.
Because of this, Gangta quickly climbed to a surprising position. He is now the captain of the third team, ranking second only to Duck and Lauder.
"Although I don't know much about magic, I know at least one thing. The magic that can attack the farthest distance is definitely not a blast or any other powerful magic."
"The one who has the farthest attack is none other than the magicians who are flying in the air. They are flying in the sky and use the invisible blade to split my men in half."
"Fortunately, we now have bows and arrows that can hit them. When they fly to a lower altitude and intend to use magic to attack us, we can also give them the same fatal blow."
"However, if they did not intend to come down and attack us, we would have no way to deal with them. I used to be extremely worried that if these magicians had explosives on their bodies, they would not need to lower their heights to use magic to deal with us and throw them from high altitude. The next burst of mines was enough to cause a small team to suffer heavy casualties. "
Gangta's words made Enleco's eyes bright, something he had never thought of.
Because those explosions were originally weapons used by ordinary people who were unable to perform magic. As a magician, he would naturally not think of using such weapons.
Such an idea can only be imagined by ordinary people like Gangta.
For a moment, Enlecco and Sisilia looked at each other, but they saw a sudden enlightenment in each other's eyes.
"Yes, let the sky become another fortress that we can't break, let us turn into an angry thunder, and punish our enemies from the sky." Dak's grandfather said with a twisted beard.
"This matter pleases you. I'm very worried about whether the Kaoqi people have also seen this possibility. Perhaps the next war will start with the huge battlefield of fighting for the sky." Sisilli Ya said slowly towards Enleco.
"Now it seems that both us and Kaoqi need time to prepare for the next war, so the possibility of successful negotiations is quite high."
"Although the time is delayed, especially when the storm season passes, maybe the situation will be detrimental to us. After all, without the help of the storm, if you want to gather such a powerful energy and launch a magic attack similar to a banned spell, it is almost difficult to do."
"However, I think that after this battle, Kaoqi will definitely have a response to these new magics, and I suspect that once the battle restarts, the Kaoqi people will find ways to haunt the two of us and fight alone, after all No one wants his men to die in vain. "
"If you let the super magician attack ordinary soldiers, no matter which side wins, it will be a loss that is far greater than the harvest. In this way, the victory or defeat of the war depends on the preparation and the possession of Chris With Enlek, we have a great advantage in this respect. "
"So, this time I decided to come in person to negotiate with the Kaoqi people. I must let the Kaoqi people agree to evacuate from the Montyta grassland. Dak serves as my deputy and protects my safety at the same time. The sincerity of the Tower Kingdom. "
Hearing this, the elder unicorn immediately hesitated.
"Is this too risky, in case the Kaoqi people are not well-intentioned, aren't you and Prince Duck fierce? The Kaoqi people are tricky and can't be trusted at all, or should I go for a trip, when it comes to bargaining, I may not be much worse. "The elder unicorn said frowning.
"I think this matter is still as good as Lord Sant." Gangta interjected and said: "According to the current situation, the Kaoqi people may not dare to resort to any means, even if they detain Sant and Prince Duck , Do they plan to launch another offensive immediately? "" You know, Mr. Enleco is now in our camp. This is no secret to the Kaoqi people. The risk of attack, I think the Kaoqi people will never fail to think of this. "
"And Lord Sant went to the negotiation in person, it is indeed a heavy bargaining chip, which will give us a great advantage in the negotiation."
Gangta's words are indeed not unreasonable, but neither Nleko nor the unicorn elder dare to publicly support it.
In the end it was Sisilia's father, the old man who had served as king of Montyta, confirmed this matter. "Sicelia is the special envoy for negotiations this time, and Duck is the guard. This is the most appropriate. Although we do n’t have to worry about the safety of the envoys, we have to prevent them from deliberately humiliating Cisilia in case someone comes out to challenge, It ’s up to Duck to deal with it. "
Suddenly paused, the old man sighed long and said: "Although it is only a brief peace, it is still very valuable for the grassland."
For the Kaoqi people, the Kingdom of Montita responded to the negotiations with such a rapid response, quite surprised them. What surprised them even more was that the special envoy sent by the Kingdom of Montita to negotiate was actually the great magister Sicilisi and Crown Prince Duck.
Hearing this news, almost everyone except the evil wizard Trod was shocked.
Especially the Marquis of Felt. He was silent for a while, sitting there dumbfounded. This matter disrupted his original plan.
Originally in the plan, this negotiation will kill time in bargaining, and the most convenient way of bargaining is undoubtedly to let lower-level officials entangle with each other in small things. For Marquis Felt and Kaoqi, retreat is definitely not the best choice.
The Lord Marquis is almost certain that as soon as they evacuate from the Monty Steppe, those steppe people will surely destroy the fortress that they have worked so hard to build, and those trenches will be completely filled, and months of hard work will Turned into a bubble and used negotiations to delay time. After the storm season passed, Kaoqi's army was able to enter the Montyta grasslands from the front of Akron fortress.
By that time, the Montittans will face the dilemma of two-line combat.
The main force of Kaoqi, who entered the Monty Steppe from the county of Struer through the Akron Fortress, was able to easily obtain supplies from Kaoqi homeland and his own right hand.
On the contrary, it is the Montita people. If you want to turn around and deal with Kaoqi's main corps, the defense line lying in front of you will inevitably be empty.
If the Montitas remained intact, the main force of Kaoqi from the Akron Fortress would drive the leader into the city of Grant.
At that time, the main force of Montyta in front of him, this vertical and horizontal grassland is famous for being haunted, and the unicorn regiment that repeatedly caused the Kaoqi Corps to fail to return, will be caught in front and rear attacks, and it will be dug out of the heart It is the old commander who has gone through countless sleepless nights and finally found one, which does not make him bear the burden of heavy defeat in the face of a loser, and can lead the kingdom of Kaoqi to the door of victory. Therefore the strategy is closed.
But at this moment, when the news that Cecilia would come to negotiate as a special envoy to his ears, Marquis Felt felt dizzy for a moment.
In addition, it is the faint feeling of weakness.
"Very good, the two most important characters of Montita came to the door by themselves. This time, not only can we easily wash the shame of failure, but we can also capture Grant City in one fell swoop and take the Kingdom of Montita in our hands. In the hand. "One of the officers standing beside said excitedly.
"Yeah, yeah, we must be able to make history."
"There are only two people, even if Cynthia is even more powerful, under our control, she can always deal with her, and we have super magicians who can compete with Cecilia."
"Maybe there is no need for Mr. Trod to come out. No matter how strong Cilicia is, he is just a magician. If we don't compete with her in the magic skills, everyone will be able to subdue her easily by using only force ... … "The officers on both sides had a lot of discussion, the voice became louder and the atmosphere became more and more heated, as if Cecilia had already become a prisoner of the ranks, and was already regarded as the most precious trooper to be transported to Beijing.
"Master Marquis, in my opinion, what the officers said is indeed very reasonable. This is a good opportunity given by God. Once I miss it every day, there is no chance." The young deputy commander next to him joined in He said that like most young generals in the army, this deputy commander was obviously full of respect for the Duke of Hagrid, so no matter how he looked or behaved, even the proud look seemed exactly like Hagrid. Only the chief of staff sitting on the other side frowned, and only he knew best what it meant for Sisilia to use force.
Although I really want to stand up and stop, but when I think of it, retreat means failure, and my old friend will pay for this already planned failure. The words of prevention he is about to export will be swallowed involuntarily. Ya go back.
"Help chief of staff, it's up to you to prepare the negotiation matters, to set the date and place of the negotiation, and to discuss every issue that needs to be discussed during the negotiation." The elderly commander said slowly.
"Marquis Felt, this matter is not handled by me. I will make the negotiation have a perfect result." The deputy commander stood up and said that his expression was somewhat disapproving.
"Unless you have the magical ability to see through the future, who can guarantee that the ending will be perfect?" Suddenly, there was a hoarse voice of evil wizard Trod.
To this terrifying horror, it seemed to be a rotten corpse figure, and the young and courageous deputy commander did not dare to be arrogant and rude.
This is not only because the evil mage Trod has a terrifying power beyond imagination, but also because this terrible guy has an irreplaceable influence around Duke Hagero.
"Oregent, do you know why, in the battle that cost us so much, why Mr. Trod and Mr. Dreykes, these two super magicians, could not stop it? That terrifying and powerful magic destroys our defense? "
For this question, the deputy commander dare not answer at will.
He is very clear that criticism, whether it offends the fierce evil mage in front of him, or the court magician far away in the capital, is not a wise move.
"That's because the Montitas attacked our position while the storm was coming. The soldiers were not good at fighting in this harsh environment, and the heavy rain made the trump card in our hands, Her Majesty the Queen. The Magic Corps can't exert its strongest strength. "The deputy commander replied carefully.
The elderly commander did not mean to refute at all.
He continued to ask: "Do you know what kind of opponent Mr. Draykers encountered in the Montitas' former camp?"
"The one who can contend with the court magician is undoubtedly the great magician of the Montitar Kingdom, Sisilia." For this answer, the old commander is still undecided.
He continued to ask: "So you know, why did the Kingdom of Sophie suddenly send a special envoy to meet our majesty?"
Hearing this question, the deputy commander suddenly asked and felt that things had become strange.
"Perhaps, the Kingdom of Sophie wanted to act as a middleman, trying to mediate this war." The deputy commander mused for a moment, muttering.
But he himself is very clear, this reason is somewhat far-fetched.
In fact, he already had another idea in his mind, but he didn't dare to say it, because that idea was so terrible that it even made him feel horrified just by thinking about it.
"Your explanation is indeed very full, but there are some discrepancies with the facts. In the enemy's camp, Mr. Trod and Mr. Dreykes have discovered a person who once possessed an extremely prestige in the Kingdom of Kaoqi. It should be said that the goddess of luck is always with us. After all, the gentleman did not show his best skills on the battlefield, otherwise, we may have turned into a pile of dust on the Montita grassland, just like Leding The brave and fearless holy knights on the border. "
Although there were doubts in his mind, when the deputy commander got an accurate reply from the chief's mouth, he couldn't help but take a breath.
The people standing next to them also understood the words just now, and their faces also showed fear. For a moment, the atmosphere of fear shrouded in this narrow and dark conference hall.
Almost every officer was secretly rejoicing there and was able to survive. It was simply the incomparable gift of the **** of luck.
"Should we temporarily evacuate the headquarters to the rear? Maybe that would be safer," an officer said softly.
"If it is that character, then what role can we play even if we withdraw the headquarters to the rear? In County Strell, in the eastern provinces, countless people have seen his powerful strength."
"The" spiritual storm "that affected nearly three counties and provinces made all the people in such a large land become the most devout believers. In my opinion, this power is better called magic than magic. It ’s more appropriate. "" If, that gentleman really intends to completely destroy us with the magic of the curse, I am afraid that no one can escape from here except Mr. Trond. " Speak slowly.
Even the leader sent by the Magic Association couldn't help but nod.
"I have seen the strength of the gentleman with my own eyes. At the fortress of Mecarus, both me and the director-general were shocked by the powerful power of the ban."
"And then, in the days of Videsk, with the deeper and deeper understanding of the gentleman, we became more and more reluctant to be against him. What surprised him most was not his strength. , But his unfathomable. "" No one dared to predict how powerful the power he possessed. It turned out that the predictions he had made were all arrogant and ignorant. This gentleman's trip to County Strel , Let alone needless to say, in the end the vigorous ending, presumably you who are in the Kingdom of Fertrand also understand it well. "
"As Lord Marquis said, there is no difference in hiding in front of the god-level forbidden curse of" Spiritual Storm ". That kind of power is not even used for war, but for destroying a country."
"Even if it is as strong as the Kingdom of Kaoqi, if the center of Vedsk is cast and the kind of magic ban is cast once, I am afraid that the Kingdom of Kaoqi has disappeared."
Hearing the words of the old magician, the officers jumped with more shock.
Originally in their eyes, the old magician is already a great character, but according to the old magician's own meaning, if he is compared with the character who dare not say the name, he is not like ordinary people. Not at all.
For officers, this is tantamount to a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
"Since Sisilia is here to negotiate, this proves that both the gentleman and the Montita want to have a temporary peace. Perhaps it is time to retreat from the Montetta grassland."
"This is my decision and my order. Help Chief of Staff. You are in charge of all negotiation matters. Oregent, you immediately plan to retreat the Corps. This matter must be carried out in an orderly manner, otherwise Will be extremely detrimental to morale. "
After saying this, the elderly commander glanced at the crowd.
"Everyone has worked hard and hard for this battle. You have made a great contribution to the kingdom of Kaoqi and the glory of the Corps. The defeat of this battle was caused by my improper command and insufficient estimation of the enemy's strength. . "
"Therefore, I will report to the Commander ’s Department, and I will personally bear the responsibility for the defeat of this battle. As the Chief of the Legion, who is still temporarily in charge of the Commandership, I am here to issue the last order. Everything you heard here Things ca n’t leak a word to the outside. "
"Master Court Magician Master and Mr. Trod, seeing the matter of that gentleman, there is still no top secret information. I think you are not brainless warriors, naturally understand that leaking this news will be in the soldiers The panic caused by this, let alone, the vast land behind us is not the Kingdom of Kaoqi, in case Feltira and Montita are united, I am afraid that all of you will die without a burial place. "
Speaking of which, the elderly commander stood up from his seat and walked towards the office behind him.
His back looked so bleak, and even his back was a bit sad.
After the storm, the weather in the Monty Steppe is always very clear, and a breeze is blowing slowly across the prairie, which is very pleasant and unusual.
However, those who stood on the grassland at this time were very nervous, and did not feel comfortable at all. The two rows of cavalry were nearly 100 meters apart face to face, right in the middle, propped up a low but extremely spacious tent.
Unlike the tents of the grassland herders, this tent does not cover all the surroundings, at best it can only be regarded as a canopy.
The **** not far away was able to see what was going on in the tent, and the person who made this arrangement obviously spent a lot of thought on it.
In the middle of the tent, there is a long table case with a huge carpet underfoot.
The half-covered tent, the green grass around it, and the red carpet underneath all of them seemed so strange.
However, the four people sitting in front of the long table at this moment did not appreciate the interest in all this.
On the side of the long table, sit Sisilia and her son. On the other side, sat Marquis Felt and his old friend.
In order to show sincerity, the chief of staff set the location of the negotiation in the middle of the grass between the areas controlled by both parties.
Even the **** team was just posing, except for the sword and a shield, they didn't even wear armor on them.
In front of Sisilia and Marquis Fierte, each opened an archive, and the two looked carefully at the contents of the archive.
After a while, Marquis Felt sneered slightly and flicked the file in his hands, saying, "Dear Your Majesty, is the negotiation terms listed by your Excellency too harsh?"
"Harsh? Couldn't our most basic requirements in the Kingdom of Montyta be guaranteed? Are we asking your country to abandon the attempt to withdraw from our territory, which is considered a harsh request?" Sisilia said disapprovingly, Phil The wrist that Marquis Dete might want was entirely what she expected.
"I originally thought that your country hopes for peace, so I put forward proposals for negotiations. I did not expect this to be just my wishful thinking."
Marquis Felt shook his head wryly.
"Don't the desire for peace exist in your country? Isn't it us who won the battle?" Sisilia retorted slightly.
"The Kingdom of Kaoqi is vast, with a large population, temporary losses and a little loss. It is nothing for us at all, and you must be very clear how much your precious country lost its precious lives on the surface. Heavy losses. "
"Because of this, we have decided to give your country the possibility to negotiate, so as to at least reduce the sacrifice of the Kingdom of Montita."
Sisilia sneered and said, "Your Excellency must describe this negotiation as a gift from your country, so there is no room or possibility for negotiation."
"Since there is no fairness to talk about, let us return to our camps individually, and we will use our own strength to defend the country."
Marquis Fielte smiled and shook his head and said, "Does Her Majesty not care about the sufferings of the people? Does Her Majesty not care about the lives of his people at all?" , Do you decide everything with war and death? Do you want this beautiful grassland to be burned by war, do you want the old people and children to bear the sorrow of losing loved ones? "
Sisilia was unmoved. She said coldly: "The person who provoked the war actually put on a benevolent face. Isn't your country spreading the flames of war on the grasslands, but to save Montita? Kingdom? I am telling you that when the army of the Kingdom of Kaoqi set foot on the land of Montita, my people have authorized me, and all the Montita people will defend every inch of the Kingdom of Montita at all costs. land."
"We have never prayed for peace. The reason why we responded to your request for negotiation is that we are sitting here just to give the soldiers of Kaoqi Kingdom a chance to return to their homeland."
"Of course, we also hope to reduce unnecessary fighting, after all, in our eyes, the life of any soldier is far more valuable than a victory."
"Although we are fully confident that we can expel all the troops from your country into the grasslands or annihilate this piece of land that belongs to us, we still hope to replace hatred and destruction with kindness and forgiveness." "Our The request is very simple, and there is nothing excessive. We only hope that you will return to where you were. If you still think that such a tolerant request is still unacceptable, then we can only terminate this negotiation because any further contact It makes no sense, your country has no sincerity in negotiations at all. "
"This will even cause us doubts. Maybe your country is asking for negotiations only because of some military considerations. Maybe your country is preparing for another attack. We have to be prepared for this. Maybe we should take a defensive position immediately. , Or even we will be the first to attack. "
"Anyway, we will never think that the war is over until the Kaoqi Army has evacuated our land."
With that said, Sisilia returned the stack of documents to the Marquis of Felt, and then stood up from her chair as if she were leaving.
This trick is indeed very useful for Marquis Felt, although he hopes to be able to fight for some profit as much as possible in the negotiations, and keep his legion as much as possible to keep the land currently occupied, not for a few months of exhaustion, but he It is also clear that the Montita people will never be willing to let their legions occupy the soil that originally belonged to them.
From the confrontation just now ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The Marquis Fielte knew very well that the Montita people had clearly figured out the cards in his hand.
Because of this, the queen was so straightforward.
"Dear Her Majesty, please do n’t be so stubborn. I think both the Kingdom of Montyta and us, want to reduce casualties as much as possible. Since I can sit here, why leave in a hurry, so easy What about children's play? "
Sisilia turned around and said solemnly: "Maybe our Montitas are a bit different from your Kaoqi people. We focus on commitments and keep our vows, so we decided that one thing will never change at will. Nor will you make a non-divided request. If you really intend to use negotiations to reduce the sacrifices of both parties, then please show your sincerity. "
"We Montizites are not profit-oriented businessmen, and bargaining is not what we are good at, so we will refuse bargains all at once."
With that said, Sisilia sat down again, and this time, there was a trace of fortitude and calmness in her expression.
Marquis Felt and his old friend looked at each other, and from the other's eyes, they saw a deep helplessness.
